Not really. The current CTMS PTL system only applies to aircraft departing within 800nm of Perth.
My understanding is that the new PTL system (Metron) will apply to all aircraft inbound to Perth.
All aircraft departures will be "controlled" ie if you're trying to taxi early, you'll be told by ATC and suffer the consequences (eg enforced holding if you dick another aircraft around) if you decide to depart early.
That should reduce the airborne holding (and also reduce the cheating that is currently occurring).
